I'm glad one of the eternal spectres of death was female-coded so we know it's not a gay romance between two personifications of the grave.

Brave of you to say this

Examples:

  • Black Knight (2001)
  • arguably, A Knight's Tale (2001) if you consider it sufficiently funny (big year for anachronistic knights)
  • All of the Ice Age films I guess
  • Year One (2009)

there's actually tons of these.

See, that's a cool symbol. Make the right angle part of that symbol into a snake, you're done. 1000% better than the AI's mess.

When we say LLMs don't know or understand anything, this is what we mean. This is a perfect example of an "AI" just not having any idea what it's doing.

  • I'll start with a bit of praise: It does do a fairly good job of decomposing the elements of Python and the actuary profession into bits that would be representative of those realms.

But:

  • In the text version of the response, there are already far too many elements for a good tattoo, demonstrating it doesn't understand tattoo design or even just design
  • In the drawn version, the design uses big blocks of color with no detail, which (even if they looked good on a white background; and they don't;) would look like shit inked on someone's skin. So again, no understand of tattoo art.
  • It produces a "simplified version" of the python logo. I assume those elements are the blue and yellow hexagons, which are at least the correct colors. But it doesn't understand that, for this to be PART OF THE SAME DESIGN, they must be visually connected, not just near each other. It also doesn't understand that the design is more like a plus; nor that the design is composed of two snakes; nor that the Python logo is ALREADY VERY SIMPLE, nor that the logo, lacking snakes, loses any meaning in its role of representing Python.
  • It says there's a briefcase and glasses in there. Maybe the brown rectangle? Or is the gray rectangle meant to be a briefcase lying on its side so the handle is visible? No understanding here of how humans process visual information, or what makes a visual representation recognizable to a human brain.
  • Math stuff can be very visually interesting. Lots of mathematical constructs have compelling visuals that go with them. A competent designer could even tie them into the Python stuff in a unified way; like, imagine a bar graph where the bars were snakes, twining around each other in a double helix. You got math, you got Python, you got data analysis. None of this ties together, or is even made to look good on its own. No understanding of what makes something interesting.
  • Everything is just randomly scattered. Once again, no understanding of what design is.

AIs do not understand anything. They just regurgitate in ways that the algorithm chooses. There's no attempt to make the algorithm right, or smart, or relevant, or anything except an algorithm that's just mashing up strings and vectors.

IDK Swiss law but I'd still bet they start losing assets quickly if they don't report to jail.

So an option that is literally documented as saying “all files and directories created by a tmpfiles.d/ entry will be deleted”, that you knew nothing about, sounded like a “good idea”?

Bro, if it sounded like a good idea to someone, you didn't fucking warn them enough. Don't put this on them without considering what you did to confuse them.

Also, nfn, the systemd documentation is a nightmare to read through, even if you know exactly what you're looking for.

(I'm still gonna keep using systemd because it's better than the alternatives, though. OP, don't write stuff off because 1 guy is a dick.)

This was literally the one thing that made me pick proton over mullvad. I know I'm not exactly alone in this, but inbound traffic does matter.

What makes this one so perfect for me is that that piece is left unsaid by the comic. The joke exists almost entirely in the fact that the man is surprised; and that his surprise is genuine, as there's nobody else in that basement to hear him say that.

Legitimately one of my favorite oglaf's of all time

In that condition she could probably have convinced him to "legally" deed all his properties to her. (She would need to be able to enthrall everyone in the room when it happens, otherwise witnesses will testify he wasn't of sound mind, but that seems like something she could solve.)

It gets complicated after that, though, lots of shareholder suits if she does anything too drastic. Maybe she converts all those assets into investments in renewable energy, which would keep shareholders off her back.

Then she only has to deal with assassin squads sent by the rest of the oil stakeholders but, again, that seems like a problem she could solve.
